The following Resolution was introduced by Councilman Beale and seconded by Councilman Fenton.
WHEREAS, on February 21, 1963, a motion was carried by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger
approving creation of the office of Deputy Highway Superintendent, and a copy of such motion is attached; and
WHEREAS, in December 2016, the Dutchess Department of Human Resources ("Department of HR"),
the local Civil Service Commission pursuant to New York Civil Service Law, advised the Town that the office
of Deputy Highway Superintendent in fact did not exist because the Town had never filed with the Department
of HR, or its predecessor, the paperwork necessary to formally create such office; and
WHEREFORE, for the sake of administrative consistency with the records of the Department of HR,
the Town Board desires to rescind the motion of February 21, 1963 creating the office of Deputy Highway
Superintendent.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the Town Board rescinds the motion of February 21, 1963
creating the office of Deputy Highway Superintendent; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town Board is undertaking this action solely for the sake of
administrative consistency with the records maintained by the Dutchess County Department of Human
Resources; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town Board does not hereby acknowledge or maintain that
the office of Deputy Highway Superintendent was ever formally created in the manner required by New York
Civil Service Law and Regulations.
The foregoing was put to a vote which resulted as follows:
